Those hoping to get into work, visit family or do some post Christmas sale shopping on Thursday, December 27, Friday, December 28 and Saturday, December 29 will find all buses will run to a Saturday timetable.

There will be no change to the bus timetable on Sunday, December 30, as a regular Sunday service will be in place.

However, on New Year's Eve (Monday, December 31) buses will run to a Saturday timetable.

On New Year's Day (Tuesday, January 1), a standard bank holiday timetable will be in place.

Jake Osman, marketing and communications manager for Reading Buses said: "Christmas this year falls on a Tuesday meaning a slightly different service pattern to last year.

"Christmas Eve sees our normal early finish to match the demand, with our 24/7 services having extra buses until around 11pm.

"Boxing Day sees the usual special service based on our public holidays timetables and then the rest of the period is generally Saturday or Sunday service.
